I think it's a genuine worry that Sky are ending up owning so much. But in once sense they are not doing themselves any favours. The more they own, the more competition laws will come back to bight them in the ass...

IMO many more events (and i mean the semis and finals) ought to be in the "Crown Jewels" list. It's pretty criminal anyone without Sky will not be able to watch the Carling Cup finals and the ashes to name but two...

Well Media Boy, Digital Fanatic has thrown the gauntlet down. Following his great bit of news regarding the TiVo install fee waiver, we're waiting for your big announcement about more HD channels... :D :D :D

Maybe Sky were the only company to bid on this occasion? The Guardian says they were (so it must be true!)

Who knows.

As far as I know Virgin are busy right now getting TiVo up and running for April 11th launch.

And also busy getting the Sky Sports Red Button launch starting the week of April 18th.

I think we will not see any announcement on new channels launches this month.

the annoucement probably would be new channels are coming soon:dozey:

Really thought they would have had some new channels for tivo launch day,Really messed up there.Think thats the game changer that might have tempted peeps from sky,Dont think tivo will manage it on its own.

We can only hope once TiVo is released they can turn there attention to HD channels.

BBC iPlayer Subtitles : Hey Guys , I now know the person (Head of the team) Incharge of the Subtitiles.

With the red button for SKY Sports coming are we still a million miles away from HD PPV events. I feel like a second class citizen paying £15 for SD and SKY customers get HD version for the same price!
